Hi,
normally I used a password synchronization between linux and samba, which
worked fine. Now I upgraded the kernel to 2.4.17.
When I now try to change a password via smbpasswd I'll get the following
error:
testuser@machine:~ > smbpasswd
Old SMB password:
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : The specified
password is invalid.
Failed to change password for testuser
testuser@machine:~ >
When I change the password for a user as root everything is fine. When I
switch the synchronization off and change
the linux-password and the samba-password everything is also fine. My
smb.conf:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# Date: 2001/07/11 11:41:44
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = LINUX
encrypt passwords = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password:* %n\n *Re-enter*new*password:* %n\n
*Password*changed*
unix password sync = Yes
debug level = 0
log level = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
mangle case = Yes
I am using samba-2.2.0.
TIA,
- Tim -
